FAQs
Question
When is the big celebration?
Answer
We’ve decided to elope and skip the big celebration! After much thought, we realized that we would rather invest the funds that would have gone into a large celebration into our home and honeymoon. As much as we would love to celebrate with everyone, we also recognize the pressures that come with inflation and the current state of the world. We didn’t want to place any financial burden on anyone or make you feel obligated to attend an event. Your love and consistent presence in our lives are more than enough.

Question
How did you both know you were “the one”?
Answer
For us, it wasn’t one moment—it was everything. The peace, the comfort, the laughter, the way our souls relaxed around each other. After 20 years apart, reconnecting felt less like meeting again and more like coming home. Calvin always knew Stephanie was the love of his life. Stephanie quickly realized that the depth, safety, and sincerity of Calvin’s love was exactly what her heart had been missing. When we came back together, older, healed, and ready—it simply clicked in a way only God could orchestrate. We knew because loving each other feels natural, destined, and undeniably right. 10 signs of a soulmate: Being together feels effortless. You feel emotionally safe with them. You share core values and vision. You make each other better. Silence is comfortable. Mutual respect in every situation. They understand you easily. Both give consistent effort. Conflicts are handled maturely. Life feels lighter with them.
Question
What makes you so certain it’ll work out this time?
Answer
This time, we’re not just teenagers; we’re two grown, whole, and healed adults who know exactly what we want, what we value, and how to love with intention. We have lived life, learned from our pasts, and come back together with clarity, maturity, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way. Our foundation is built on communication, accountability, faith, and placing God at the center of our lives. We choose each other every day, not out of habit or nostalgia, but out of genuine love, respect, and alignment. Ultimately, this isn’t a redo—it’s a revival. We are stepping into it with purpose, wisdom, and a bond that is stronger than ever.
Question
Are you planning to have children?
Answer
Nope! We’ve had the conversation—more than once—and we’re happily on the same page: our future is all about enjoying each other, making up for lost time, and savoring full nights of uninterrupted sleep. We absolutely adore our nieces and nephews as if they were our own children.
